Dear Visitors, Welcome to Dubrovnik!

Dear Visitors,
Welcome to Dubrovnik!
If you are in our City (with a capital ‘C’!), this booklet will provide answers to the questions of where, how,
when, what… and why Dubrovnik? To some of these questions you will find your own answers as you
explore for yourselves the rich history, culture, entertainment, sports, shopping, excursions and gastronomy
of one of the world’s most beautiful cities. We very much hope that, with the help of our suggestions
and the wide range of information included here, your visit to Dubrovnik will be an interesting and
memorable experience.
Before you set out to explore we suggest you purchase a Dubrovnik City Card from one of the Dubrovnik
Tourist Board Tourist Information Centers. It will give you a significant discount for a visit to the city
walls, museums and galleries.
Then let your own journey of discovery begin... from the many strands of history and of the life that still
goes on within these walls you will weave the fabric of your own memories.
Have a wonderful stay!
The stories of more than a thousand years of the history of Dubrovnik are reflected in every part of the city.
Sometimes it may feel rather like a living museum – but you will find that it also has its own vibrant present.
Part of the character of the City derives from the imposing presence of the medieval walls that surround
it. A walk round these walls, almost two kilometres long, looking down on the impressive architecture of
the town, on its small streets, gardens and terraces, and on the other side the sea which has determined
so much of its history; perhaps this is the best way to get a first impression of Dubrovnik.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, Dubrovnik is sometimes considered to be primarily a cultural
destination, offering a rich variety of historic monuments as well as a large number of cultural events
and festivals. But it is also a place for a more relaxing holiday, for time spent on a beach, enjoying the
warmth and clarity of the sea, to sit at a street cafe and let the world pass by, to find a small back street
restaurant with the best of fresh local produce.
Dubrovnik is a fascinating city: we invite you to discover it for yourself – and we sincerely hope that what
you find will tempt you to return again...

What you should know about
the history of Dubrovnik
The successful development of Dubrovnik in the past was conditioned primarily by its favourable
geographical position, and by an economy based on maritime and merchant activities.
When entering the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is the first island-protected port on the maritime route going
from Greece towards Venice, with easy access to the hinterland by way of the Neretva Valley. The latest
archaeological research has shown that evidence for a settlement dating from the 6th century, or probably
even earlier, can be found under today’s city. This original settlement expanded in the 7th century with
the arrival of the inhabitants of ancient Epidaurus (today’s Cavtat), driven out by invading Avars and
Slavs, and Croat tribes arriving from the North.
The intensification of traffic between the East and West, both during and after the Crusades, resulted in
the development of maritime and mercantile centres throughout the Mediterranean and the Adriatic
Sea in the 12th and 13th centuries, of which Dubrovnik was one. The Zadar Treaty in 1358 liberated
Dubrovnik from Venetian rule, and was crucial to its development. Other Dalmatian towns failed to
achieve this, so that they fell under Venetian rule in the year 1420 and remained so until 1797. Already
during the 14th and 15th centuries, Dubrovnik was the most significant maritime and mercantile centre
of the Adriatic, alongside Venice and Ancona. Dubrovnik expanded its territory by peaceful means
through diplomatic treaties and by purchasing land from Klek in the north to Sutorina at the entrance
to the Bay of Kotor, including the islands of Mljet, Lastovo, the Elaphites and Lokrum.
The legal status of the Dubrovnik Republic was fully established by the 15th century. This meant the
independent election of a rector and councillors, the minting of currency, a state flag with the image of St.
Blaise, independent legislature, and the right to establish consulates abroad. According to the constitution,
the state authority was based on the Great Council, which was made up of Dubrovnik aristocratic families.
They, in turn, appointed the members of the Senate and the Small Council, which was the executive body
of the Great Council. The Rector was appointed on a monthly basis as a nominal symbol of authority.
Already in the 15th century Dubrovnik had a well-organized trade route with the Balkan hinterland, at
same time, due to the aggressive Turkish expansionist policies in the Balkans, the Dubrovnik Republic
decided to accept Turkish tutelage and the payment of a tribute. However, in return, they obtained the
right to free trade throughout the Turkish Empire, with a customs duty of only 2%. This small state, which
had no army of its own, perfected its own particular style of defence using skilful diplomacy and broad
consular activities. It managed to preserve its independence by maintaining neutrality in international
4
conflicts, and by accepting the tutelage of powerful countries, especially of Spain and the Vatican. The
Venetian Republic was its only permanent rival and enemy.
The Dubrovnik Republic entered its golden age in the 15th century, at a time when the power and glory
of the Venetian Empire was on the wane. Its prosperity was based on maritime trade and its monopoly
of salt. In the 16th century, the Dubrovnik merchant navy matched world levels with its fleet of 180 to
200 ships. Increasingly larger types of ships were being built, such as galleons, trabacolas (coastal trading
vessels) and navas. These ships were taking on increasingly longer and more dangerous voyages
throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea, as well as ocean voyages to northern ports in England
and Germany, even as far as India and the Americas. Dubrovnik became world-renowned and sought
after for the transport of cargo, which included very diverse maritime and trade affairs.
Material prosperity, and the sense of security and freedom, helped shape a humanist culture that further
inspired vigorous creativity. Dubrovnik reached a sophisticated level of achievement in its urban and
architectural development that has been maintained to the present day, in its literature and poetry
(Marin Držić, Ivan Gundulić), sciences (Ruđer Bošković, Marin Getaldić), and in many other fields of art
and culture.
In the 17th century, the general crisis in Mediterranean maritime affairs also affected Dubrovnik maritime
trade. The catastrophic earthquake of 1667 brought the Dubrovnik Republic to a critical period, where
it fought for its survival and political independence. The 18th century gave Dubrovnik an opportunity
for the economic revival of maritime trade under a neutral flag. This was the state of affairs when Napoleon
dissolved the Dubrovnik Republic in 1808.
At the Vienna Congress in 1815, the Dubrovnik region was joined to the other regions of Dalmatia and
Croatia. Since then, they have shared a common political destiny.
Following the Republic of Croatia’s declaration of independence and subsequent Serbian aggression
on Croatian territory, Dubrovnik itself was attacked in October of 1991. The Serbians and the Montenegrins
aimed to conquer and destroy the region, attacking with an unprecedented destructive force. The
Dubrovnik region was occupied and significantly devastated. In an 8-month siege, the city itself was
repeatedly bombarded; the most brutal destruction occurred on December 6th 1991.
Today, the war-devastated cultural heritage of Dubrovnik has been for the most part repaired. The
renovated hotels, the important assets of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, as well as other cultural events
that are essential elements for the development of modern tourism.

TAXI BOAT AND DUBROVNIK VAPORETTO ACROSS
THE HARBOUR BETWEEN GRUŽ & LAPAD
As an alternative to the walk round the harbour, or to taking bus or taxi – we suggest the
local taxi boat. The boat operates between Gruž and Lapad in the summer months, in
the morning (from 7.00 am to 12.30 am), at a very reasonable price. As soon as a few passengers appear
the skipper starts the engine and crosses to the opposite side of the harbour. There is no official time
schedule but the boat leaves approximately every ten minutes. In Gruž the boat lands in front of the
open-air market, and in Lapad in front of the Lapad Hotel. The sign Taxi Gruž-Lapad-Gruž and the price
are displayed on the boat.
The Dubrovnik Vaporetto (water taxi), which operates on the line Gruž – Lapad Coast (Hotel Lapad) –
Solitudo (Mandrač Beach) – Copacabana Beach – Cava Beach, is a joint project of the City of Dubrovnik,
Libertas Public Transport, and the Lokrum Reserve, with the participation of the Dubrovnik Card and
the Dubrovnik Tourist Board.
BOAT TO THE ISLAND OF LOKRUM
The boat to the Island of Lokrum, which is a special forestry reserve, departs from the Old City
Harbour every half hour during the season and lands in the little bay of Portoč. The trip lasts

FOR YACHTSMEN
You will undoubtedly be mesmerized by the beauty of the islands, coast and sea in the local waters of
Dubrovnik.
This is where lovers of this kind of tourism and passionate yachtsmen, whether just cruising and exploring,
or participating in one of the numerous regattas which take place in the waters of Dubrovnik the whole
year round – will find a perfect holiday and entertainment. After a pleasant but strenuous sailing trip, a
berth in a marina with all facilities can be very convenient, whether you merely need to restock with
water, fuel and food for the continuation of your sailing, or you are in need of some service. A year-round
berth for your boat is available at the Dubrovnik Marina.
The Dubrovnik ACI Marina in Rijeka Dubrovačka (Komolac) is open the whole year round. It is about 2
kilometres away from the entrance to Gruž Harbour and only 6 kilometres from the Old City. It has 450
floating and 110 dry berths. The Marina has excellent bus connections with the city centre.
Upon sailing into the territorial waters of the Republic of Croatia boat captains are obliged to take the
shortest route to the nearest designated port of entry in order to pass the border control and pay relevant
navigation fees and taxes. A year-round border control is located at Gruž Harbour, and port of entry
facilities are also available in Cavtat during the season.
A small number of anchorages/berths mainly for large yachts is available at Gruž Harbour. At the Orsan
Sailing Club, located in Gruž Bay, berths are available primarily for club members; the INA fuel quay is
open to the public.
12
Where to dine
If you would like to see how a nation really lives, you should
go to the market place - the very stomach of the city - and smell,
touch and taste the food which local people consume every
day. Even the finest chefs who visit Dubrovnik and prepare
international dishes in some of the city restaurants cannot resist
the taste of courgettes from Župa Dubrovačka, cabbage from
Konavle and aubergines and tomatoes grown in the fertile and
unpolluted surroundings of Dubrovnik. The gastronomy of an
area is based on the produce that grows on ecologically-preserved
land, as is still the case with that in the Dubrovnik environs. The
delicacies of Dubrovnik are plain and with few spices. Prepared
in a simple way, they are seasoned with plenty of olive oil, which
accentuates the juicy taste of natural foods.
The gastronomic choice on offer at Dubrovnik restaurants is
varied, but always fresh and usually locally produced. Those
visiting smaller local taverns will be offered authentic national
specialities, such as first-class smoked ham, cheese preserved
in oil, octopus salad, zelena menestra (smoked meat and cabbage
stew), sporchi macaroni (pasta with meat and tomatoes), fried
sprats and grilled sardines. Visitors to top class restaurants, or
to the many smaller family restaurants, may be served the
freshest fish from Adriatic depths, shellfish from the unpolluted
sea and other delicacies prepared to meet the requests of the
choosiest gourmands. Restaurants may also serve the popular
sushi, which has become an essential part of western cuisine.
In the attractive ambience of the Dubrovnik restaurants one
can also enjoy French cuisine and excellent steaks which would
do credit to the finest Argentinian restaurants. In compliance
with the wishes and adventurous way of life of younger visitors,
fast food restaurants, pizzerias and small restaurants serve
simple Dalmatian food and dishes of other cuisines like Korean,
japanesse or Indian restaurants.
13
What to see
Within the city walls – where nowhere is more than a few minutes stroll away – there is much to see of great
historical, architectural and cultural interest. And however culturally serious your intentions may be every
stroll, down the Stradun or through the maze of back streets, will take you past the perhaps welcome
temptation of an ice-cream or a coffee bar!
CITY WALLS WITH FORTS
The Dubrovnik city walls are the major attraction for visitors and one of the best preserved fortification
complexes in Europe. The 1940-metre long walls include five forts and sixteen towers and bastions. The
walls are open for visitors all the year round. There are three entrances to the walls: one next to St Luke’s
Church in the east, one next to St Saviour’s Church at the Pile entrance to the Old City and the third next
to the Maritime Museum located at St John’s Fort. Taking a walk along the Dubrovnik city walls you will
see some of the impressive forts used for the defence of the Dubrovnik Republic. There are five forts, of
which Minčeta, Bokar and St John were built within the city walls complex, and another two, Lovrjenac in
the west and Revelin in the east, stand separately outside the walls. Located at the highest point of the city
Fort Minčeta protected Dubrovnik from the north. The fort is the symbol of Dubrovnik’s defence and the
flag of our homeland waves on it all the time. In summer you can also see the Libertas flag flying on Fort
Minčeta. In the southwest Fort Bokar, also called Zvjezdan, stands at the corner of the city walls facing
Lovrjenac. It was constructed in the 16th century for the purpose of protecting the small western City
harbour, the moat and the Pile bridge. Today it houses a collection of stone fragments from the Dubrovnik
area. St John’s Fort is the first quadrangular pier tower built in 1346 in order to protect the city harbour
from the southeast. A long time ago a chain across the entrance to the harbour was controlled by a winch
from the fort. An aquarium is now situated in the fort’s ground floor, whereas the first and the second floor
house the Maritime Museum. At the foot of St John’s Fort there is a pier with a beacon - the well-known
Porporela, a traditional meeting place of lovers, a promenade and bathing place for residents of the Old
City. From Porporela one can see Fort Revelin standing outside the city walls at the eastern entrance to
the city. The stone and wood draw bridge connects the imposing fort with the land side, and another stone
bridge connects it with the city. Surrounded by a moat on three sides and the sea on the fourth, the fort
was a part of the city which was effectively impregnable. Although constructed in an earlier period, Revelin
acquired its present day dimensions and size in the 16th century. The interior of the fort and its terraces
are concert venues for the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra and the Dubrovnik Summer Festival.
14
LOVRIJENAC FORT
Lovrijenac Fort is situated to the west of the Old City on a 37 metre-high rock. The symbol of Dubrovnik’s
survival and freedom, the fort was used for the defence of the city and the western Pile gate. Above the
entrance to the fort is the famed inscription: NON BENE PRO TOTO LIBERTAS VENDITUR AURO (Freedom
is not to be sold for all the world’s gold).
The first official records mention the fort in 1301, although it is believed that its construction began
earlier. Today Lovrijenac is well-known as one of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival open-air venues
particularly suitable for works by William Shakespeare. Among the finest actors who appeared here in
the role of the unfortunate prince of Denmark are Rade Šerbedžija, Daniel Day Lewis and Goran Višnjić.
STRADUN (BIG AND SMALL ONOFRIO FOUNTAIN, ORLANDO, CITY BELL-TOWER AND GREEN MEN,
RECTOR’S PALACE, SPONZA)
The residents of old Dubrovnik entered the city through two main gates, the eastern gate at Ploče and
the western one at Pile. The draw bridges were pulled up at night to prevent passage to uninvited visitors.
Entering the Pile gate, you come to the principal street called Placa or Stradun. The main open-air public
space of Dubrovnik, the favourite promenade and meeting place, the venue of all great festivities and
processions, Stradun is the main shopping area and the widest and most beautiful street which divides
the Old City into its northern and southern part. Its origins go back to the 11th century, when a shallow
sea channel that separated settlements on the peninsula of Lave and on the mainland was filled in.
Placa acquired its proper function in the late 12th century when both settlements were joined into one urban
unit by a city wall complex. The name Placa comes from the Latin term “platea communis”, denoting the venue
of all major public events. The second name Stradun has a Venetian origin and means a large street. The Big
Onofrio Fountain stands at the western end of Stradun. It was named after Onofrio della Cava, the constructor
of the 11.7 kilometre long Dubrovnik water supply system since the 15th century, which supplied the city
with water from the village of Šumet located in the Dubrovnik hinterland. A second, small fountain by Onofrio
was constructed close to the city clock-tower. Today it still feels good to refresh oneself with cool water from
the Dubrovnik fountains, while the clock-tower strikes the hours during the hot summer days.

The 31-metre high City Bell-Tower was built in 1444. In 1509 the famous foundryman Michele di
Giovanni from Fiesolo cast the bell and two bronze jacks Baro and Maro. The Dubrovnik green men
on the clock-tower strike on the hour, repeating after three minutes, and also strike on the half-hour.
Between the City Bell-Tower and Sponza Palace is Luža, the is an open belfry from which a bell was
sounded for the convening of the Dubrovnik Republic council, but was also rung for fire and other
alarms. Luža was built in 1463, and thoroughly reconstructed in 1952. The monumental Sponza Palace
stands on the left; built in the Gothic-Renaissance style, it has preserved its original form till the present
day. At the time of the Dubrovnik Republic it housed the customs office and storehouses, and was
City Bell-Tower

Rector’s Palace
therefore also called Divona (from the word dogana – meaning customs). Apart from the customs
office, the state mint, the exchequer and treasury were also situated in the palace, designed by the
Dubrovnik master Paskoje Miličević.
Today the palace is the home of the major cultural institution of the Dubrovnik State Archives. Documents
spanning the period from the 12th century to the fall of the Dubrovnik Republic are kept there and
make this institution one of the most significant archives in the world. Particularly valuable is the
collection of statutory and law books, including the Dubrovnik Statute from 1272. The Dubrovnik
Orlando Column carries a statue of the medieval knight holding a sword in his hand. With a characteristic
gothic smile on his face encircled with long curls, he is considered one of Europe’s handsomest Rolands.
According to the contract from 1418 it was made by Bonino of Milan, with the help of the Dubrovnik
masters. The Orlando Column is a symbol of statehood. From its pole, where the flag of the Dubrovnik
Republic once flew, now flies the Croatian national flag. During the Festival of St Blaise, the Dubrovnik
patron saint, the column carries a flag with his image, and during the Dubrovnik Summer Festival flies
the Libertas flag.

CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES
(ST BLAISE, FRANCISCAN MONASTERY, CATHEDRAL, ST SAVIOUR, DOMINICAN MONASTERY)
The Baroque church dedicated to the Dubrovnik patron Saint Blaise, in the centre of the Old City,
facing the Orlando Column, was constructed according to the design of the Venetian master Marino
Gropelli in 1715, on the site of a previous church in the Romanesque style dedicated to the same saint.
On the main church altar is a valuable Gothic statue of St Blaise from the 15th century, the work of the
Dubrovnik goldsmiths school. In addition to its artistic value, the statue has particular historic interest:
thanks to the model of the city, which the saint holds in his left hand, the buildings that were later
destroyed in the great earthquake can clearly be seen.
Church of St Blaise
Franciscan Monastery
Church of St Saviour
The small votive Church of St Saviour is situated at the western end of Stradun, between the Pile Gate
and the Franciscan Monastery. Following a decision of the Dubrovnik Senate, the church was built in
1520 in gratitude for the saviour’s sparing the city from destruction in a major earthquake which befell
Dubrovnik at the time. A testimony to this is a monumental tablet on the church facade. Constructed
by the master Petar Andrijić of Korčula, the church remained intact during the disastrous earthquake
of 1667. Preserved in its original form, it is a fine example of Dubrovnik Renaissance building. The interior
of the church is nowadays used for concerts and exhibitions. Historic records of the Old Pharmacy,
founded in 1317, are very scarce. Initially it was a monastery pharmacy for the Franciscan friars, in
accordance with the provisions of their order. In the course of time, primarily for humanitarian and
charitable reasons, the pharmacy expanded outside the monastery walls and became a public pharmacy.
Today it is still in function, and its products include preparations made according to age-old recipes,
which are also popular with tourists. The pharmacy is located next to the Baroque church in the
Franciscan Monastery atrium, the capitals of which are adorned with examples of the Romanesque
bestiary. The church includes a picturesque hall in the Renaissance style, music archives, a rich library
and silver and gold art objects.

The Dubrovnik Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary exists in its present day form from
the early 18th century. According to historic records, the former Romanesque cathedral was an
outstandingly luxurious church with a cupola, richly decorated with statues. Legend has it that it was
built with the votive money which the English king Richard the Lionheart donated having survived a
shipwreck near the Island of Lokrum in 1192 on his way back from the 3rd Crusade. During restoration
works on the Cathedral in 1981, the remains of another earlier cathedral were found, the architectural
features of which determine its origins between the 6th and 9th century. This discovery gave a new
dimension to the early history of Dubrovnik, bearing evidence of the city being a developed urban
community as early as in the 7th century. The Cathedral now houses a rich treasury including paintings
and relics, and in its apse stands Titian’s poliptych of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary from 1552.
The Chatedral
Titian Polyptych
St Dominic’s Church is one of the largest buildings in the Gothic style on the Croatian coast. Constructed
according to a simple architectural design, it has one nave with a Gothic apse, separated from the
remaining area of the church by three high openings with the Gothic vaults. In the central vault above
the main altar is a huge highly valued Crucifix by Paolo Veneziano from 1314. The Dominican Monastery
paintings include works by the 15th and 16th century masters of the Dubrovnik school of painting
(Božidarević, Hamzić and Dobričević) and a canvas by the great Titian with the Dubrovnik patron St
Blaise, St Mary Magdalene, the archangel Raphael and Tobias. Valuable Dominican documents, incunabula,
manuscripts, a Bible from the 11th century and a jewellery collection of the Dubrovnik goldsmiths are
also exhibited in the museum.

SQUARES (DRŽIĆ, GUNDULIĆ AND BOŠKOVIĆ SQUARES)
A walk in the city streets and Stradun will certainly take you to some of the numerous Dubrovnik squares.
Situated in front of the Cathedral, the Marin Držić Square leads to the city district of Karmen, to the
city harbour and to the Aquarium. The people of Dubrovnik once called it ‘in front of Our Lady’s Church.
The buildings in the square include the Dubrovnik Cathedral, the Sorkočevič Palace, the little Church
of St Bartholomew, the Dulčić-Masle-Pulitika Gallery and the Memorial Room of the United States
Secretary of Commerce Ronald Brown, who died on 3 April 1996 when his American plane crashed on
St John’s Hill. The square was named after Marin Držić – Vidra (Dubrovnik 1508 – Venice 1567), the
playwright, poet and church organist – who also had a reputation as a conspirator. He studied in
Dubrovnik and in Italy and in 1541 was appointed Vice-Chancellor of Siena University. While staying in
Florence in 1566 he asked the help of Cosimo Medici in overthrowing the Dubrovnik Republic regime
and in introducing a system in which persons who were not of noble birth could also hold authority.
In his works he wrote about many universal human themes, including love, the longing for youth, and
miserliness. Držić’s plays vibrate with the vitality of life. His best-known works include Tirena, Grižula,
Venus and Adonis, The Story of Stanac, The Miser, Hecuba and Uncle Maroje. In his comedy Uncle Maroje
Držić conjured up a vision of a society of equals with no essential difference between good and bad
people, also portraying the main feature of his time – miserliness. A statue of the Dubrovnik poet Ivan
Gundulić (Dubrovnik 1589 - 1638) stands in the Gundulić Square. Educated in his native city, Gundulić
was twice appointed Rector of Konavle, a senator, Minor Council member and envoy to a Bosnian pasha.
The major representative of the Baroque style in Dubrovnik, he wrote works which reveal the spirit of
the Catholic reformation. His main motifs include reflections on the transitoriness of human life. Among
Gundulić’s best-known works are Tears of the Prodigal Son (Venice, 1622), Dubravka (performed in
Dubrovnik in 1628) and Osman (reprinted as late as 1826). He was buried in the Franciscan Church, and
the oldest copies of Osman from 1652 and a copy from 1826 printed in Dubrovnik are kept in the
Franciscan Monastery library. Apart from the statue of Gundulić from the 19th century, a small Amerling
Fountain – damaged during the aggression in 1991 - stands in the square of the same name, which
was constructed after the disastrous earthquake in 1667. The square is the venue of the green market,
where producers from nearby villages come to sell their products. A flight of Baroque steps lead from
the southern part of the Gundulić Square to the Ruđer Bošković Square. Buildings in the square include
the Jesuit Church of St Ignatius and the Collegium Ragusinum, the famous Dubrovnik Jesuit school.
Many people consider this urban complex to be the finest Baroque set of buildings in all of Dalmatia.
St Ignatius’ Church was completed in 1725 after the design of the famous Jesuit architect Ignazio Pozzo.
It houses trompe l’oeil Baroque frescos by the painter Gaetano Garcia portraying scenes from the life of
St Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit order. Adjacent to the church facade stands the building of the
Jesuit Collegium. Its neutral and hard lines accentuate the Baroque facade of the church and the Baroque
steps that descend into the city. These steps were designed by the Roman architect Pietro Passalacqua
in 1738, and are reminiscent of the famous Spanish Steps leading to the Trinità dei Monti Church in the
Piazza di Spagna in Rome.

ISLAND OF LOKRUM
The first records of the Island of Lokrum from 1023 mention it as the venue of the foundation of a Benedictine
Abbey and Monastery. Legend has it that after a shipwreck on his way back from the Crusade in Palestine,
Richard the Lionheart found shelter precisely on the Island of Lokrum in 1192. As a sign of gratitude should
he be saved, he made a vow to build a church in the place where he would come ashore. However, he fulfilled
his vow only in part. Upon the request of the people of Dubrovnik, Richard the Lionheart provided the money
for the continuation of the building of the cathedral within the city. In 1839 Maximilian von Habsburg visited
and bought the Island of Lokrum. He had his summer residence built on the ruins of the monastery with a
magnificent garden, walking paths and promenades. The tradition of gardening and cultivation of exotic
plants from the time of the Benedictines via Maximilian von Habsburg until today was continued in 1959,
when the Botanical Garden was founded. The majority of plants were brought from Australia and South
America, and the collection of eucalyptuses, cactuses and succulent plants is a special attraction. In 1963 the
Island of Lokrum was declared a Natural Reserve and in 1976 a Special Forestry Reserve. A small lake on the
island called Mrtvo More (Dead Sea), connected with the open sea, is suitable for children and non-swimmers.
Located on an elevation, the star-shaped Fort Royal, built by the French in 1806, offers a magnificent view
of Dubrovnik, Cavtat and the islands. In only ten minutes, a boat from the Old City Harbour will take you to
the nearby Island of Lokrum, a favourite excursion place also known as the Island of Love.
TRSTENO
The name of this village situated some twenty kilometres west of Dubrovnik comes from the Croatian word
trstika (cane), which grows in the area thanks to an abundance of water. Two giant Asian plane-trees
(Platanus Orientalis), which are more than 400 years old, growing in a little square, are considered the biggest
trees of their kind in Europe. The greatest attraction in the village is the magnificent Trsteno Arboretum, the
only one on the Croatian Adriatic coast, which combines the rich cultural and natural heritage. The arboretum,
renowned for its historic gardens and a collection of Mediterranean and exotic plants, was founded in 1948
in the area of the summer residence of the Dubrovnik Gučetić-Gozze aristocrat family. The entire arboretum
is a protected monument of garden architecture. Spreading over 25 hectares, the Trsteno Arboretum
comprises a number of different units: the historic Renaissance garden with the summer residence, the historic
neo-romantic garden from the 19th/20th century, the historic olive grove and the natural vegetation of the
woods of the Downy oak, Alpine pine tree and cypress, as well as the vegetation of macchia and coastal rocks.
In 1494, at the time of the Renaissance, Ivan Marinov Gučetić-Gozze built a summer residence with a garden
on his Trsteno estate, which soon became one of the humanistic cultural centres of Dubrovnik. In this Arcadian
idyll, numerous Dubrovnik poets – including one of the most beautiful women of the Croatian renaissance,
the Dubrovnik poetess Cvijeta Zuzorić – wrote their verses and had love affairs. One of the arboretum
attractions – the garden fountain - was supplied with water by a 70-metre long aqueduct resting on fourteen
arches. In 1736 the former Renaissance fountain was turned into a luxuriant Baroque nymphaeum with the
god of the sea and waters Neptune as the central figure in a stone statue group.

ELAFITE ISLANDS
In the course of history the Elafite Islands relied on the city of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik Republic,
in whose possession they had supposedly been from the 11th century. According to historic records,
the rector of the islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan was appointed in 1272. The islands were inhabited
from ancient times, a fact which is borne out by the remains of Illyrian buildings and Greek and Roman
toponyms. The commitment to the sea and seamanship improved life conditions on the Elafite Islands,
which flourished during the golden age of Dubrovnik in the 15th and 16th centuries. Of the thirteen
Elafite Islands only three are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. During your stay in Dubrovnik, do
not miss visiting them on the boat Postira. You can visit all three islands in one day and enjoy exploring
the little old-Croatian churches on the Island of Koločep, bathe on the sandy beach of Šunj on the Island
of Lopud, visit the summer residence of the Skočibuha-Stjepović family in Suđurađ and walk the fertile
Šipan field covered with olive groves and vineyards, passing by the Rector’s Palace, up to the Church of
St Stephen in the Luka Šipanska. The islands boast their own gastronomic delicacies. The fishermen
bring the freshly caught fish from the crystal blue sea, and the taste of ecologically-grown vegetables
is enhanced by home-made olive oil. Visit the Art Pavilion Your Black Horizon on the Island of Lopud,
which has placed the island on a tourist-art map of the world. An obligatory destination for lovers of
modern art and summer vacation, this project was realised thanks to the International Thyssen-Bornemisza
Contemporary Art (T-B A21) Foundation presided over by the distinguished modern art collector Francesca
von Habsburg. The Art Pavilion Your Black Horizon, which is the joint work of the Danish-Icelandic artist
Olafur Eliasson and the London architect David Adjaye, unites art and architecture, and is special primarily
for its adaptability to a certain location and its environment.

SRÐ – PANORAMA AND MUSEUM by CABLE CAR
The 415-metre high Mount Srđ rises above Dubrovnik, offering a wonderful view of the Old Town and
the adjacent islands, can be reached either by taxi, the cable car which starts from just above the town
– or even a rather strenuous walk! There is a café and restaurant on the top, in the Napoleonic Fort
Imperial can be found a museum of the Croatian War of Independence. The stone cross on the summit,
made from the famous Brać stone, was a present from the Brač-Hvar Archbishop’s District to Dubrovnik
after the war, and replaced an earlier version.
The cable car, initially installed in 1969, was damaged in the war; in 2010 it was completed restored. It
runs every half hour from the base station which is a few minutes walk above the town - either from the
Ploče Gate or through the small gate at the top of the steps of Božkovičeva Street (fourth from the clocktower). The last ride down is at midnight in high season - earlier at other times. Tickets obtainable from
the base station, or a number of agents in town.

THE LAZARETI
For centuries Dubrovnik was a crossroads of maritime and caravan
trade routes. Dubrovnik was one of the first places in Europe to
recognise the value of a system of quarantine to protect against the
threat of disease brought by travellers who were kept in isolation for
a period of 40 days. The original facility was on the islands of Mrkan and Bobara, opposite Cavat, then in
1590 a row of houses, known as the Lazareti, was constructed on the rocks outside the Ploče Gate of the
town, and completed in 1642. Here arriving merchants and seamen were confined; they had their own
water supply and their own priest, physician, barber-surgeon and a sufficient number of attendants. The
quarantine regulations were very strict and were rigorously maintained.
The Lazareti have been well preserved, restored and some of its buildings are now venues for various
art and craft workshops. It also houses a stage for performances by the Linđo Folklore Ensemble and
those by various young artists’ associations.
OLD CITY HARBOUR
Paskoje Miličević (born around 1440) became a municipal engineer as early as 1466. He became widely
famous for building the fortress of St Luke at the harbour entrance (1484) and for his other construction works
in the Dubrovnik harbour. Milićević began the plan for the harbour according to one of two proposals which
he had sent to the Major Council. The Kaše breakwater constructed across the harbour mouth gives protection
both from wind and sea and from enemy attack. A chain stretched across the harbour mouth from St. John’s
Fort could be raised at night by a winch to prevent entry by unwelcome vessels. Milićević also worked on the
new Od Ponte Gate, constructed after a design by Juraj Dalmatinac. He completed his works on the harbour
in the early 16th century. The Peskarija (fish market) and the Porporela breakwater were built in the 19th
century during Austrian rule. The large and small arsenals for building and repairing the ships and boats were
situated in the City Harbour, on the site of the present-day restaurants Arsenal and Poklisar.

For Nature Lovers
AN ISLAND WITH A SECRET
“Only the imagination of a skilled writer could have placed an island like Lokrum
by a city like this one. When you set foot on Lokrum, you encroach upon a
mystery. You can hear the murmur of the whispers of all the lovers who have
gazed at the stars from this very spot, hear the rustling of silks and the beating
of wings, the sound of poems and the muttering of Latin prayers, as if you were
hearing them now in the cloister of the Benedictine monastery. Lokrum is under
a spell, a spell that you cannot hope to undo.”
Luko Paljetak
LOKRUM - A NATURAL FOREST RESERVE
The natural environment of Lokrum reveals to us the beautiful
contrast between its dark caves andits eternal green forests. But
many questions arise concerning why Lokrum possesses such a
wealth of preserved nature. The secret lies in a relationship between
man and nature that dates from ancient times. The earliest written records mentioning Lokrum appeared
in the year 1023, when the Benedictine monks became owners of the island. The origin of the name itself
comes from the Latin word ACRUMEN, a collective name for citrus fruits and oranges.
The very first gardens were created by Benedictines in the 11th century, when the monks planted the first
decorative species on Lokrum. Later in the 19th century, Maximilian Habsburg created beautiful tropical
gardens connected bywalking paths and brought new plant species to the island.
In 1959 theNational Academy of Science and Art established a botanical garden that is open to visitors
today. On almost two hectares of land,one can see 70 different species of eucalyptus, the largest collection
of eucalyptus growing outside Australia, andmore than 853 exotic species of plants.Around 453 are trees
and bushes and about 400 are succulents. In 1964, Lokrum was declared a Managed Natural Reserve, and
in 1976 it was proclaimed a Special Forest Vegetation Reserveunder the protection of UNESCO.Out of total
0.7 km2of Lokrum’s area, 0.6 km2 is covered with dense vegetation. Thus, looking and observing this island
from the outside is not enough to reveal all the treasures that one can find on Lokrum.
Surrounded by the sea from all sides, Lokrum providesthe perfect ecological conditions for the development
of diverse fauna , not only on land but also in the sea. It is interesting to mention that the island is home to
156 bird species from 43 different bird families. However, the pride of Lokrum from its beginnings to the
present day has remained the peacocks brought by Maximillian 150 years ago from the Canary Islands.
GETTING THERE
You can get to Lokrum by a lovely 10-minute boat ride with the “Skala” and “Zrinski” vessels, which depart
every half hour from the Old City port. Tickets can be purchased at the pier, just before boarding. The first
boat departs from the Old City port at 9 a.m. and the last one returns from Lokrum at 7 or 8 p.m.(depending
on the season). Visitors are forbidden to stay on the island overnight. Boat transportation is available 7
months of the year,from April through October.
LAKES AND BEACHES
A must-see is the lake “Dead Sea” - a small salt water lake connected tothe open seaon the east side of the
island. However, there are plenty of beaches for every visitor to take a swim. Signs are posted throughout
the island so there is no danger of getting lost. One more pleasure is provided on every beach – a fresh-water
showerfor those who like to freshen up before leaving Lokrum.
FOR THE BRAVE
Another natural attractionof this islet is the Purple Cave, which gets its name from the purple seaweed that covers
the rocks. This place is little known to tourists and even to the residents of Dubrovnik because it’s hidden at the far
end of the island. It can only be reached by boat or by the path which also leads to the nudist beach.
32
TRSTENO
The name of this village, situated some twenty kilometres
west of Dubrovnik, comes from the Croatian word trstika
(cane), which grows in the area thanks to an abundance
of water. Two giant Asian plane-trees (Platanus Orientalis),
which are more than 400 years old, growing in a small
square by the road, are considered the largest trees of
their kind in Europe. The greatest attraction in the village
is the magnificent Trsteno Arboretum, the only one on the Croatian Adriatic coast, which combines a rich
cultural and natural heritage. The arboretum, renowned for its historic gardens and a collection of
Mediterranean and exotic plants, was founded in 1948 in the area of the summer residence of the Dubrovnik
Gučetić-Gozze aristocrat family. The entire arboretum is a protected monument of garden architecture.
Spreading over 25 hectares, the Trsteno Arboretum combines a number of different attractions: the
historic Renaissance garden with a summer residence, the historic neo-romantic garden dating from the
19th/20th century, the historic olive grove and the natural vegetation of the woods of the downy oak
(quercus pubescens), Alpine pine tree and cypress, as well as the vegetation of macchia and coastal rocks.
In 1494, at the time of the Renaissance, Ivan Marinov Gučetić-Gozze built a summer residence with a garden
on his Trsteno estate, which soon became one of the humanistic cultural centres of Dubrovnik. In this
Arcadian idyll, numerous Dubrovnik poets – including
one of the most beautiful women of the Croatian
renaissance, the Dubrovnik poetess Cvijeta Zuzorić
– wrote their verses and conducted their love affairs.
One of the arboretum attractions – the garden fountain
- was supplied with water by a 70-metre long aqueduct
resting on fourteen arches. In 1736 the former
Renaissance fountain was turned into a luxuriant
Baroque nymphaeum with the god of the sea and waters
Neptune as the central figure in a stone statue group.
RIJEKA DUBROVAČKA
The mouth of the River Ombla lies at the western entrance
to Dubrovnik. Upstream, around its source, several villages
which make up Rijeka Dubrovačka are arrayed in a
semicircle. This fjord-like valley is famous for several 15th
and 16th century renaissance summer residences. One
of the most prominent and best preserved is the Sorkočević
family summer residence with its beautiful garden and
steps at the present day Dubrovnik ACI Marina which
offers berths for numerous Croatian and foreign boats in
summer and in winter.
Rijeka Dubrovačka abounds with bird species, either
resident or temporary visitors. While enjoying your coffee
by the Dubrovnik ACI Marina swimming pool, you will
probably see ducks or gorgeous swans gliding on the
green surface of the river. The entire area of Rijeka
Dubrovačka has excellent regular bus connections with
the Old Town and Gruž.

Excursions
ISLAND of MLJET
Legend has it that Odysseus was lured to Mljet by the nymph
Calypso, do why should you resist? You can even visit Odysseus’
Cave on the south side of the island. Perhaps you will even be lucky
enough to spot a Mediterranean monk seal.
The island boasts a rich history and archaeological and cultural
sites. The Mljet National Park is situated in the western part of the ’green’ island. A one-hour boat trip
departing from Gruž harbour will take you to Mljet, and a car ferry connects it with the Pelješac Peninsula.
The main port of call on the Island of Mljet is Sobra, and during the tourist season a fast catamaran also
operates from Gruž to Polače, from where one can reach the national park by a mini-bus. One can rent
a bicycle or a small car on the island, but vehicles are not allowed in the national park. You will be
fascinated by the untouched nature in the park and by the beauty of the Great and Small Lakes, connected
with the open sea by a narrow channel. In the middle of the Great Lake stands the Isle of St Mary with
the 12th century Benedictine Monastery of St Mary, accessible by a small boat that runs regular trips. It
is also possible to follow the path the runs round the edge of the lakes in the shade of the ancient pine
forest that runs down to the shore.
Close to the national park is the picturesque little harbour of Pomena, where the only hotel on the island,
the Odysseus Hotel, is located.
THE ELAFITE ISLANDS
The Elafites are a group of 13 islands lying to the north west of Dubrovnik.
The three main islands, Koločep, Lopud and Šipan, have been inhabited
from ancient times, a fact borne out by the remains of Illyrian buildings
and some place names deriving from Greek and Roman. Since the 11th
century they were part of the Dubrovnik Republic; the first rector of the islands was appointed in 1272. During
the golden age of Dubrovnik in the 15th and 16th centuries life on the islands flourished with populations
much greater than they are today.
There is a regular ferry service from the port of Gruž making it possible to visit one more of the islands
for a day out that can be a rewarding contrast to your time in the City.
Among many attractions, apart from the relative quiet and glimpses of island life, are the old-Croatian
churches on the Island of Koločep, the exceptional sandy beach of Šunj on the Island of Lopud, the
summer residence of the Skočibuha-Stjepović family in Suđurađ on Šipan, and the 5 km walk (or bus
ride) along the fertile valley that connects Suđurađ to the village of Luka Šipanska, where can be seen
the Rector’s Palace and the Church of St Stephen. There is a choice of small restaurants offering the best
of fresh sea food and locally produced vegetables and fruit, cheese, olive oil and wine.
A rather unlikely attraction on Lopud, a short walk from the village, is the art installation ‘Your Black Horizon’,
which is the joint work of the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson and the London architect David Adjaye.
STON and the PELJEŠAC PENINSULAR
About an hour’s drive west of Dubrovnik is the attractive small town
of Ston. A 5 km wall connects the town to Mali Ston. It was built in
the 14th century as a defensive wall that effectively cuts of the whole
Pelješac Peninsular. Claims that it is second only to the Great Wall of
34
China should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt, conveniently provided by the Ston salt works with their
extensive pans. Salt has been in production here for the past 4000 years - and still continues today. Salt
from Ston was one of the key reasons for the economic success of the Dubrovnik Republic.
The Bay of Mali Ston is famous for the quality of the oysters produced in its many farms.
Beyond Ston is the Pelješac Peninsular where some of the best wine in Croatia is produced. Some 70
kms by road will take you to Orebić, with opportunities for wine-tasting visits on the way. From Orebić
a short ferry route crosses to the island of Korčula, reputedly the city of Marco Polo, and well worth a
visit. A day excursion there by coach from Dubrovnik to is possible.
CAVTAT
Some 18 kms east of Dubrovnik is the small town of Cavtat, easily reached
by a regular bus. It has a long history, being at one time settled by the
Greeks and later the Romans. It was sacked by Slav tribes in the 7th century
and the occupants moved to the small settlement of Laus, from which
Dubrovnik developed.
Today it is worth a visit for its attractive water-front promenade with
its coffee bars and restaurants. You can wander through its winding streets or walk by the water right round
the peninsular. Other attractions include the gallery of Vlaho Bukovac, the Raćić family mausoleum designed
by Ivan Meštrović - a pleasant stroll up the wooded hill beyond the town.
KONAVLE
Beyond Cavtat and the airport lies the region of Konavle where rich soil
and ample water from the mountains creates a fertile valley where most
of the local fruit and vegetables are produced. The area is dotted with
small villages, situated always on the hillside not to waste fertile land.
There is a tradition of silk production, examples of which can still be
seen. There are local restaurants, such as the well-known Konavoski
Dvori, offering fresh water trout and lamb cooked ‘under the bell’. There are opportunities for cycling, for horse
riding or for exploring by jeep or by ATV vehicle.
Visit the southernmost part of the Croatian coast, the Prevlaka Park. Croatia’s biggest free climbing
centre, the park also offers biking, adventure-walks and a tour of the labyrinth of tunnels that was once
constructed for military purposes.
THE BAY OF KOTOR (Montenegro), MEĐUGORJE and MOSTAR are all within a day’s outing from
Dubrovnik, and coach excursions can be arranged.
CABRIO BUS
The Cabrio or Panoramic Bus offers an opportunity for a panoramic tour
of Dubrovnik. The Dubrovnik City Tour is designed for visitors who wish
to enjoy sight-seeing of Dubrovnik, highlighting the memorable views
over the Old City in the east and the new attraction – the Dubrovnik Bridge in the west. The tour includes an
audio guide in a choice of nine languages. The paintings on the bus are reminiscent of the old Dubrovnik tram,
the one-time favourite means of transportation in Dubrovnik. The ticket for the Cabrio tour is also valid for all
local buses for that day.
The bus does not run in the case of bad weather.

Discover
Dubrovnik in...
...one day
Make sure to begin your brief visit to Dubrovnik with a promenade
in Stradun or Placa, the main street, while getting the first
impressions of one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful cities.
The astonishing city of stone is surrounded with 1,940 m long
stone walls. A tour of the world’s second most frequented
open-air museum will definitely take your breath away. The
fantastic views will inspire you to take some photographs, and
the sights that you will capture will continue to amaze you over
and over again. Visit the museums of Dubrovnik and find out
where the rector of the glorious Dubrovnik Republic used to
live, where grain was stored, which sailing ships formed parts
of the powerful Dubrovnik Republic fleet travelling around the
world, making Dubrovnik famous. Taste some of the delicious
Mediterranean specialities at the taverns and restaurants of
the Old City and complete the treat with a cup of coffee on
Stradun. Buy some of the typical Dubrovnik souvenirs (delicacies,
traditional filigree jewellery, a bronze statuette of St Blaise,
Konavle embroidery…) to always remind you of the day when
you began to discover Dubrovnik and inevitably fell in love
with it forever, wishing to come back…
...three days
Dubrovnik offers numerous adventures within a three-day
visit. If the reason for your visit to our city is culture, you’d
better prepare yourselves because culture, arts and architecture
are inseparable parts of Dubrovnik. Do not miss a visit to
the Franciscan Monastery Museum with the artefacts of the
Friars Minor Pharmacy from 1317.
The Dominican Monastery houses inspiring works by the
members of the Dubrovnik 15th and 16t century school of
painting and a canvas by the great Titian. The Cathedral treasury
comprises silver and gold relics made by Dubrovnik goldsmiths
from the 11th to 19th century. At the Rector’s Palace try to
conjure up the way the city was governed in the course of
centuries and how freedom was guarded as the greatest treasure
of the Dubrovnik Republic. Visit the Rupe Ethnographic Museum
and learn more about the granary and storage of the state
grain and wheat reserves in deep pits cut into the rock. Acquaint
yourselves with the customs and folk costume of the Dubrovnik
region. Walk the city walls, and make sure to visit the Maritime
Museum in order to learn about the centuries-long seafaring
36
tradition of the Dubrovnik Republic. Discover more about the
famed seamen, and the mathematician Getaldić and the physicist
Ruđer Bošković who calculated the loading capacity of the
merchant ships karaka, galijun and nava. Climb Fort Lovrjenac,
the Dubrovnik Gibraltar, and conjure up scenes from Shakespeare’s
Hamlet, Macbeth and Julius Caesar. Do not miss the opportunity
to visit the small museum of the Dubrovnik Synagogue with
numerous exhibits which testify to the life of the Jews in Dubrovnik.
At the Dubrovnik Defenders Museum at Fort Imperial on Mount
Srđ, reminisce about the recent past and suffering of Dubrovnik.
In addition to doing the city walls tour, climbing the Dubrovnik
steps, walking the narrow streets with clothes drying in the
breeze, charming restaurants and shops, a cocktail sipped by
the walls, the murmur of the sea at Buža, and a concert or play
at some of the Dubrovnik festivals, make sure to save some time
for visiting the places in the Dubrovnik surroundings. The island
of Lokrum, also called the Island of Love, is in close vicinity to the
Old City. Centuries of rich history, legends, tales and the magic
of the sea and nature will revive old loves, or inspire new ones.
The Arcadian idyll of the Trsteno Arboretum - where one of the
most beautiful women of the European Renaissance, the redhaired Dubrovnik poetess Cvijeta Zuzorić wrote her verses and
loved – invites you to take a walk in the shade of ancient trees
and see your reflection in the Neptune and Nymphs Fountain.
Allow yourselves to enjoy swimming in the miraculously clean
Adriatic, and take along a pebble from one of the white
Dubrovnik beaches…
...seven days
Many people definitely envy you – you are on a seven-day
holiday in Dubrovnik! Forget stressful everyday life, explore,
rest, bathe, walk, read, listen to music, idle...
With a pleasant Mediterranean climate, 2600 sunny days per
year and protected nature, Dubrovnik offers you the opportunity
to explore historical sites, museums and galleries, and to learn
about the wisdom of our ancestors. Enhance your holiday
with a tour of the city and its surroundings, tasting exquisite
gastronomic specialities or attending sports events that will
invigorate both your body and soul.
The mild climate, fortunately, enables sailing all the year round,
so we recommend the Elafite Islands cruise where you can
explore wooded untouched oasis, and where the nature lovers
can enjoy picturesque villages on the island of Koločep, Lopud
and Šipan and the island life so unlike that in the environment
where you come from.
Take a tour of Ston, visit the salt works, taste the oysters of
Mali Ston Bay and explore the wine route on the Pelješac
Peninsula. While on Pelješac, take a ferry from Orebić and you
will reach the Island of Korčula in no time. The medieval city
of Korčula is encircled with city walls. With a neat layout and
rows of gothic and renaissance buildings, Korčula is the native
37
city of Marco Polo. The city boasts the traditional knightly
dances moreška, moštra and kumpanija.
The most beautiful parts of the Dubrovnik Riviera include
Cavtat and Konavle. Among many reasons why one should
visit this area are the unique folk costumes, good wines,
smoked ham, cheese kept in oil and the story of silk.
If you are a lover of hiking, the hills of Konavle are the right
choice. At the hundred-year old mill on the River Ljuta housing
the Konavoski Dvori Restaurant you may also taste freshwater
fish. A jeep safari and horseback riding are only some aspects
of the wide-ranging tourist services offered in Konavle. If you
enjoy eating - and even picking – tangerines, birds watching
and archaeology, the valley of the River Neretva – the biggest
one in the region – is the right place for you.
Make sure to visit the Island of Mljet, mentioned in the
legends of Odysseus, St Paul, the Benedictines and the
Mediterranean monk seal. With two unique seawater lakes
surrounded by pine woods that reach the shore creating an
atmosphere of untouched nature, the Mljet National Park
is frequented by tourists the whole year round. Rent a bicycle
and cycle to the woods and lake shore, or merely take a
walk, smell pinewood and take a boat to the Isle of St Mary
- situated in the middle of the Large Lake - and explore the
12th century Benedictine Monastery and Church.
After the excursions to its surroundings, the lovely beaches
of Dubrovnik and crystal clear sea are waiting for you. Top
quality hotels, superb wellness centres and more than a
thousand different events throughout the year were created
precisely for you and your memorable stay!
38
Where to have fun
Dubrovnik offers a wide choice of relaxation and
entertainment for a warm summer evening. There
are many bars and taverns waiting to be discovered:
street players, musicians or Dalmatian vocal
groups may be encountered in the squares or
under the arches of the Sponza Palace; there is a
jazz café; a choice of night clubs and discos; there
are regular chamber recitals in the small churches
of Domino and St.Saviour; during the Summer
Festival (10th July to 26th August) there are concerts
or theatre performance of the highest standard
at many city venues; some of the hotels offer a
‘Stars Beneath the Start’ concert program.
39
Where to attend mass
If you stay in Dubrovnik for several days, you might like to attend mass in one of the beautiful ancient
atmospheric churches where you will surely find peace in the dim light and smell of flowers and frankincense...
It will be in complete contrast with the glaring summer sun reflecting on the white Dubrovnik stone and
the bright summer clothes of its numerous visitors. The cool interior of the churches will feel good after
an exhausting walk in the hot streets. You might light a candle made of genuine yellow wax and perhaps
be lucky enough to enter St Blaise’s Church when somebody is playing the church organ, while the sun’s
rays shine through the stained-glass windows illuminating the dark space of the church.
Holy masses are held in almost all churches of Dubrovnik on a daily basis in the morning and in the evening.
On Sundays you may attend holy masses on the hour from 7.00 am to 12.00 noon, and in the afternoon
at some of the Old City churches. If you lose track of time while exploring cultural and historic sites, you
will hear the sonorous sound of bells from church-towers summoning the faithful to prayer. In summer
masses are held earlier in the morning and later in the evening than in the winter period. Holy masses in
English are held at the Jesuit Church on Sundays at noon (from the first Sunday in June to the last Sunday
in September).
Where to shop
In Dubrovnik outlets offering authentic
Croatian souvenirs and traditional Dubrovnik
souvenirs are marked with this symbol
It is difficult to resist a beautiful memento of a travel or holiday.
Discover Dubrovnik in its typical souvenirs, candied almonds, arancini (candied orange peel), kontonjata
(quince jelly), brandies with stories, top quality red and white wines, valuable stone-mason’s handicrafts,
golden olive oil, cold-pressed soaps with laurel and rosemary fragrance. In its squares Dubrovnik offers
souvenirs made by the traditional craftsmen who are encouraged and co-financed by the City authorities,
such as goldsmiths, filigree-makers, carnival mask makers and leather-workers.
Those who look for elegant and selected designer clothing, ultramodern glasses, Swarovski crystal and
hand-made jewellery should visit the modern boutiques that can be found both in the Old City and in
the shopping centres situated in the suburbs of Dubrovnik (Mercante and DOC).

Souvenirs
The goldsmith’s trade in Dubrovnik is one of the oldest, and certainly
the best-known trades. While the beginnings of the goldsmith’s
trade in our city go back to the 13th century, it flourished in the 14th
and 15th centuries. With their adroit hands the Dubrovnik goldsmiths
made the favourite adornments of Dubrovnik ladies with special
care, skill and artistry. The rečini (earrings) or puce (decorative buttons)
which you purchase in Dubrovnik will definitively be lifetime souvenirs.
The gold, filigree silver and coral jewellery is fascinating for its timeless
beauty and workmanship, and its design matches all fashion styles.
At their workshops situated in the Old City, the Dubrovnik goldsmiths
Vierda, Kraljević and Jurišić still manufacture the valuable Dubrovnik
jewellery using age-old methods (www.zlatarna-krizek.hr).
Returning home from a visit or holiday, take with you Dubrovnik
delicacies such as kontonjata (quince cheese), mantala (must jelly),
arancini (candied orange peel), caramelized almonds, dried figs,
home-made fruit and flower liqueurs and brandies with herbs.
These traditional sweet delicacies and drinks are still made according
to our grandmothers’ traditional recipes. The figs, dried in the hot
Dubrovnik sun which conserves their precious ingredients and
sugar, are outstandingly delicious. Liqueurs are made of sour
cherries, green walnuts, carob, nespole (loquat) and rose petals
soaked in brandy and sugar and kept in the sun. If you present
your nearest and dearest with one of these delicacies, you will give
them a part of Dubrovnik…
A part of the Dubrovnik region, the wine-growing area of the Pelješac
Peninsula is the homeland of Plavac Mali, the best-known variety
of grape in the Croatian South. This type of wine is cultivated on
slopes near the sea, embraced by the Mediterranean sun. The most
famous are red wines with a specific taste - Plavac, Dingač and
Postup. The white wine variety Pošip is grown on the Island of Korčula.
The wine of the Dubrovnik aristocrats - Dubrovnik Malvasija, sometimes
called the ’nectar of the gods’, is a revived type which is also grown
in the Konavle area, where several top quality wines, both red and
white, are produced for true wine-lovers and connoisseurs.
The Konavle embroidery is a basic decorative element of the
women’s national costume of this part of the Dubrovnik region.
Applied on the bodice and cuffs, it was originally embroidered in
silk thread - obtained from the silkworm that was carefully bred
in every house of Konavle - and dyed with natural colours. The
strictly symmetrical geometric motifs were embroidered in a myriad
of forms, most often in red, black and dark green with gold-yellow
trimming. In the Old City of Dubrovnik, on the steps of the Dominican
monastery, you will see a woman embroiderer dressed in the
original national costume of Konavle who diligently embroiders
bookmarks, tablecloths and cushions which seem to tempt you
take them into your home as a beautiful and unique souvenir.
The souvenirs in the stone-mason’s workshops, under the Dominican
steps, include the Maskeron - the stone mask one can see on several
41
historic buildings of Dubrovnik, the Croatian plait ornament,
crucifixes, models of forts and the huge old vessels which were
once used for the storing of oil and which nowadays serve as
decorative flowerpots. The little stone cross-pendants can also be
a nice present, because the glow of the Dubrovnik stone and sun
has been captured in these tiny pieces of stone.
The basis of Mediterranean healthy food - olive oil - is produced
in the south of Croatia. With its golden-yellow hue, unique smell
and fullness of taste it gives a new quality to every dish, especially
those prepared from ecologically-grown produce with which our
country abounds.
Unique cosmetics prepared from natural ingredients, fragrant
herbs, medicinal plants and citrus fruits - let these completely
ecological products be the choice of souvenirs that you will take
back from Dubrovnik for your friends. Essential massage oils
contain the fullness of Mediterranean scents – lavender, rosemary,
honey, lemon… The hand-made, cold-pressed soaps made
exclusively of natural ingredients such as olive, palm- and almond
oil, goat milk, essential oils and crushed almonds will give you
the pleasure of natural care.
Products which also attract visitor’s attention are cosmetic preparations
from the Franciscan Pharmacy. The pharmacy, one of the oldest in
Europe, is still working using the original 200-year old recipes.
Products include Aqua Rosae, Aqua Rosmarini, Aqua Lavandulae,
Gold Cream (wax and almond oil), Rose Cream with rose oil, Rosemary
Cream, Moisturizing Cream with almond lotion, Wrinkle Proof Cream
(cocoa butter and bergamot oil) and Lip Balm (wax and vanilla).
Works of art, paintings, sculptures, glassware and ceramics are also
wonderful souvenirs from a trip. The streets of Dubrovnik are filled
with galleries where you can see Croatian artist’s exhibitions and
choose some of the unique pieces of art, either originals or graphics.
All gallery owners are well informed about the procedure of taking
art objects out of Croatia. If you choose this kind of present you will
have no difficulty at all, but a lasting memento to carry with you.
The delights of chocolate! Why not try some Croatian products
of the kind? Bayadera, Griotte chocolates in various flavours and
the exquisite dark chocolates which bear the trademark of Croatia’s
genuine quality can be found in the specialised Kraš Shop on
Stradun (the main street).
Did you know that the homeland of the necktie is Croatia? The
traditional Croatian 17th century military uniform, in particular
that of Croatian mercenaries serving in France, included a
picturesque scarf knotted at the neck. It became a fashion in Paris
and was known as cravate (French pronunciation of Croate).
Ordinary soldiers wore ties made of coarse linen, whereas officers
wore those made of silk and delicate cotton. You may find the
story of the necktie (kravata in the Croatian language) as well as
many top quality ties with the most recent design, typical Croatian
motifs and modern patterns at the Croata Shop facing the Rector’s
Palace, and at some other shops in the Old City.

Where to go swimming
The waters of the Adriatic are wonderfully clear, of extraordinary
shades of turquoise and green, and by mid-season are enticingly
warm. The description ‘beach’ can mean a variety of things – rocks
from which one can dive into deep water, a pebble shore or gently
shelving sand (comparatively rare in Croatia. There is a popular
pebble beach known as Banje beyond the Ploče gate, a choice
of rocks, often provided with ladders, on Lokrum (even a naturist
area) – and some real sand in the Bay of Lapad, Babin kuk, and
even better on the island of Lopud. From Banje it possible to hire
a pedalo, to have a ride on a banana boat, perhaps to paraglide
or to paddle a kayak with a guided group across to Lokrum.
There are further opportunities for kayaking from under Fort
Lovrjenac or out on the Elafites. Talk to one of the agents offering
information outside the Pile Gate. Cava Beach is one of Dubrovnik’s
more secluded beaches, boasting spectacular views of the lush
Elaphiti Islands. Where
to go for recreation
Fort Lovrjenac. Row to the island of Lokrum and Bete Cave and
admire the view of the stone walls on your way back. You can
explore the Dubrovnik sea bed, enjoy the silence and mystery of
the depths and visit protected submarine archaeological sites

hill you can enjoy magnifi cent views over the City and open sea.
If you stay at one of the top class hotels at Ploče, do not miss a
morning jog or an easy walk to the Sveti Jakov area. At sunset
return to your hotel and relax at the wellness centre, have a
massage, swim in the swimming pool, or choose one of the beauty
treatments.
Climb the Dubrovnik walls. This amazing 2-kilometre long walk

promenades by the sea are waiting for you, even in the mild
Dubrovnik winter. It is a real pleasure to walk from the Bay of
Lapad, head to the Neptune Hotel with a superb view of the rocks
and lighthouse, proceed through Babin Kuk to Copacabana Beach
and further along the seashore to the Orsan Sailing Club, where
you can refresh yourselves with a fruit juice or cup of coff ee.
To those in good shape we recommend climbing Mount Srđ, which
off ers a breathtaking view over the entire city, surrounding area,
open sea and islands. Do not miss a visit to the museum at Fort
Imperial – the symbol of the city defence during the Croatian War
of Independence. To true adventure lovers we recommend a tour
of the beautiful Konavle countryside in small ATV vehicles, for
which one does not need driving experience. This is where you
can try your skill at recreational horseback riding and explore the
Konavle area in a diff erent way – taking the 11-kilometre long
„blue route“ through olive- groves, woods and along the steep
Konavle coast from where you can admire the spectacular view.
If you become hungry after all this, do not miss savouring local
smoked ham, cheese and wine. Intoxicated with beauty, your body
and soul rejuvenated, you will come back to the pleasant atmosphere
of your hotel and a relaxing bath at your wellness centre.
Visit the southernmost part of the Croatian coast, the Prevlaka
Park. Croatia’s biggest free climbing centre, the park also off ers
biking, adventure-walks and a tour of the labyrinth of tunnels that
was once constructed for military purposes. Among other numerous
programmes designed to make your active holiday in Dubrovnik
unforgettable are big game fi shing, fi shing by day and night in
Cavtat, sailing on rented sailboats, the salt harvest at the Ston Salt
Works, a jeep safari in Konavle and bicycle ride through the unique
national park on the island of Mljet.

Wellness
Harmony of Spirit and Body in a Perfect Environment.
For guests on short visits as well as those on longer visits to Dubrovnik
it is essential to feel good and provide their bodies with much needed
strength and energy by exercising in water and gym, or swimming.
In addition to long walks by the sea, where the air is fi lled with the
fragrances of the Mediterranean, hotel guests rejuvenate their bodies
and spirits enjoying the magic of the baths of ancient civilisations, the
breath of the Orient and the healing circulation of water.
People who are looking for the best will fi nd a perfect blend of old and
new in Dubrovnik, as well as the harmony of architecture and nature,
peace and elegance, and the surprising pulse of a modern city. In
Dubrovnik you will meet tourists who search for peace and are focused
on history and culture, but also those attracted by active holidays.
Dubrovnik is characterised by high quality hotels. Out of a total of
forty hotels, twelve are fi ve-star hotels. In accordance with modern
tourist trends, the hotels off er the most up-to-date wellness and spa
facilities. The Dubrovnik hotels’ wellness centres have been repeatedly
awarded Croatian and international prizes for the high quality services
they off er in premises designed to provide relaxation and soothe the
senses. Special attention is paid to natural elements, minimalist decor
and selected music, which creates an atmosphere of refi ned calmness
with a view over the turquoise sea. One can achieve a balance of spirit
and body and relax from the stress of everyday life in diff erent saunas,
cold, hot, Turkish, Finish and other baths, using various kinds of Eastern
massage and aromatherapy...
Children activities
If you are visiting Dubrovnik with children, we recommend accommodation
in the areas of Lapad and Babin kuk, where you can spend a lot of time
outdoors, taking walks by the sea and along the beaches. King Zvonimir
Promenade (Šetnica Kralja Zvonimira) in Lapad Bay (Uvala Lapad) is a
pedestrian zone and an ideal place for summer fun with children.
While you are enjoying refreshments, the children will enjoy themselves
on playgrounds, and will eat ice cream or pancakes. The entertainment
centre along the Promenade offers a variety of fun games for children,
and the large cinema centre ˝Cinestar˝, which offers regular film programs
as well as special offers, is located nearby.
A number of beautiful pebbly beaches are located around Lapad Bay,
and there is a floating amusement park. A walking path along the
seaside links Lapad Bay with another green oasis, the area of Babin kuk,
which is ideal for playing ball, bicycling, table tennis, and outdoor mini
45
golf. Babin kuk is just a couple minutes walk from Copacabana Beach,
located on the opposite side of the peninsula, which also has a floating
amusement park.
Inside the Old City, or the City (with a capital C) as the local inhabitants
call it, children will be interested in the flora and fauna of the Adriatic
Sea, which are displayed in the Dubrovnik Aquarium located in Saint
John’s Fort. The Dubrovnik Natural History Museum features ten
collections of flora and fauna, some live specimens and some prepared,
which will be a real treat for your children. The museum periodically
organizes themed educational workshops.
In the past, Dubrovnik’s children played football in the city streets,
especially in front of the Cathedral, the Church of St. Blaise, and in
Domina Street. There you will find the testimony of ancient times and
a long tradition of ball-playing, namely on the Church of Saint Roko
there is an inscription dating from 1597 that bears witness to the mischief
of children and their ball games.
A ten minute boat ride from the Old City Port will take you to the nearby
island of Lokrum. Lokrum is ideal for families: discover the Dead Sea
(Mrtvo more) and take a walk through the groves of the Botanical Garden,
with its peacocks and rare exotic plants. Visit the multimedia exhibition
about the island’s history and the filming of the globally popular ˝Game
of Thrones˝ series in the Dubrovnik area. Organize a picnic on one of
the meadows, in the shade of an olive tree, while the children enjoy
encountering rabbits and turtles and becoming acquainted with the
donkeys, and together, you can exercise on outdoor exercise machines
in the lovely nature.
Take the cable car to Srdj Mountain and spend the day in the Honey
Valley (Medena dolina) on Bosanka above Dubrovnik. Your children can
enjoy the fresh air, ride ponies, and encounter other domestic animals
in this little children’s realm. If you decide to stay longer, do not miss a
visit to Konavle and horseback riding, bicycling or walking the nature
trails, as well as the two adrenaline parks. Of trips to the areas around
Dubrovnik, we also recommend a visit to the Elaphite Islands, especially
Lopud with its famous sandy beach Šunj, or Mljet National Park. The
clean blue sea and clear sun will fill you with health and energy for the
coming winter, and your photographs of their first swimming successes,
first dives and jumps into the sea, and kayaking and pedalling, will
remind you of your memorable stay in Dubrovnik. Your kids will surely
ask you: ˝When will we go to Dubrovnik again?˝
